Yes but do you? A theory is believed to be true but not totally proven and susceptible, maybe even waiting, to being proven wrong
A law is assumed proven and is considered fact. Something can happen to change that but it is extremely rare. The difference between a layman's theory and a scientific theory is more research behind the theory. That doesn't make it true, just more convincing. And of course scientific theories usually generate an influx of experiments to prove it wrong or right .
